Hey gals, this question leads back down memory lane (at least for those of us who've relaxed our hair prior to going natural) ...

Were any chemical relaxers you used completely successful in straightening your hair? Did your hair revert back to its natural state once wet, so that it was still necessary to manipulate it w/a blow dryer and/or heat as it dried for it to look straight or partially straight? I ask this because, for me the answer to all those questions is a resounding NO. Those chemicals basically failed the Hell out of me and I wonder how they were for you. I wonder what level of success or failure you personally had w/that stuff
